Israeli defense minister Moshe Ya’alon ordered the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) to confiscate without warning a large sum of money from the bank account belonging to the Al-Aqsa Association. The Association has collected money from the Palestinian territories to implement their Ramadan projects in Jerusalem and outside Palestine as well as to fund Iftar for tens of thousands of fasting people in the Al-Aqsa mosque and in Arab towns. The money was also meant to fund food packages including basic materials to meet the needs of poor families suffering from the constant harassment of the Israeli authorities that limit their movement and chances of a dignified life.
